This immune-boosting mango kiwi smoothie tastes like the tropics. It’s dairy-free, nut-free, made with just 5 ingredients, and is ready in under 5 minutes.

Kiwi fruit has a unique taste that’s unlike any other fruit in both the looks and the taste department.

Random fact: I recently learned that some people eat the fuzzy skin of the green kiwifruit. Are you one of these crazy people? I still can’t wrap my mind around this.

Not to worry though, this kiwi smoothie will not be including said fuzz. Here’s what we used…

Kiwi Smoothie Ingredients

• green kiwi fruit – this tart, sour, lightly sweet fruit is packed with vitamin c and antioxidants
• frozen mango – adds creaminess and a little sweetness
• spinach – getting those extra greens in without affecting the taste
• dairy-free yogurt – adds creaminess
• water – helps everything blend together
• raw honey – adds a hint of natural sweetness

Make It Your Way: Ingredient Substitutions

Please remember that recipes are just a starting point.

How can you make this kiwi smoothie using what you already have? Here are some ideas…

• No mango? ➝ several things can be subbed here: frozen pineapple, strawberries, banana, apple, papaya, blueberries, cherries
• No spinach? ➝ baby or chopped kale are great
• No dairy-free yogurt? ➝ sub half a frozen banana or avocado for a similar creamy texture, plant milk in place of the water for extra creaminess
• Vegan? ➝ sub maple syrup for the honey
• Add-ins ➝ spoonful of nut butter, protein powder, chia seeds, flaxmeal, etc. or top with granola

Tools Needed

• pairing knife
• cutting board

Helpful Tips for Making the Best Kiwi Smoothie

FOOD WASTE TIP

If you have any fresh spinach that’s about to go bad, throw it in the freezer. This prevents it from turning to slime and now is a great ingredient for adding to smoothies like this one.

USE A MIX OF FROZEN AND FRESH

To get the best smoothie consistency, I suggest using both frozen and fresh ingredients. This will keep your smoothie cold and help with the creamy factor, without turning you into an icicle after you drink it.

CHOOSING A YOGURT

Because we’re using a combination of fruits and a little additional sweetener, we don’t want the smoothie to be too sweet. So, if opting for vanilla yogurt, look for something that is lower in added sugar.
